Positioning
oIt is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location where the ambient temperature of the room, corresponds with the climate classification that is stated on the rating plate of your appliance. Your appliance may not function correctly if the ambient temperature falls outside of the following ranges.
Climate classification | Appropriate ambient temperature |
SN | +10 to +32 degrees centigrade |
N | +16 to +32 degrees centigrade |
ST | +18 to +38 degrees centigrade |
T | +18 to +43 degrees centigrade |
oPositioning the appliance requires two people in order to avoid injuries or damage to the appliance.
oKeep a minimum of 90 mm between your refrigerator and the back wall. There should also be a gap of 20 mm either side. If there is insufficient space this can create the sound of vibration, weakening of the refrigerator’s power and a waste of electricity.
oThe appliance should never be placed upside down or carried in a horizontal position.
oYour appliance should not be located in direct sunlight or exposed to continuous heat or extremes of temperature (e.g. next to a radiator or boiler). If this is not possible, then you should install an insulation plate between the appliance and the adjacent heat source.
oYou should check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after your appliance is installed.
oPlace the appliance flatly and firmly on a solid base. The appliance is fitted with adjustable feet on the front side, which can be used to level the appliance.
oIf the front of the appliance is positioned slightly higher than the rear, the door can be opened and closed more easily.
oIf your refrigerator tilts down to the left, turn the left adjusting leg until the appliance is level.
oIf your refrigerator tilts down to the right, turn the right adjusting leg until the appliance is level.
